看世博学英语：前卫的“先锋派画家”

　　The concept of avant-garde refers exclusively to marginalized artists, writers, composers and thinkers whose work is not only opposed to mainstream commercial values, but often has an abrasive social or political edge。

近日上演的前卫戏剧表演更是让参观者们领略到了一种与传统不同的瑞典印象。那么这里的“前卫”英文中该怎么表达呢？

　　“前卫派”专指那些反对主流商业价值的边缘艺术家、作家、作曲家和思想家，他们的观点往往还带有偏激的社会或政治色彩。

Avant-garde这个词单独使用就可以表示“先锋派、前卫”的意思，来看看相关解释吧。
